I love that it’s near the train station to go to other places outside Penzance and the bus stations near by too. The locals are friendly in Penzance they give you some tips to what you can do down there and the best place for a Cornish pasty's. I was in bedroom 2 the single bed this was lovely cosy room en-suite too but the bed always made a sound when moving in the bed might need a new mattress soon.There was 2 occasions when someone outside my window somewhere was smoking weed and it filled my bedroom of it which wasn’t nice. Must be the pub owners next door to the b and b and the view of the window wasn’t nice. The walls were a bit thin too for other people staying there you could here there tv too. There was an occasion I could hear someone snoring next door to my room. I have to say the breakfast was good but I prefer fresh sausages and not frozen ones. I like the fact the b and b owners ask you what plans you had and they gave good advice what you could do in and around Penzance. They were always friendly and they like a laugh too. So overall a mixture of good and bad. The price I paid was £350 for 6 nights which is better priced than some other places.
Carnson House is a clean, cozy property just footsteps away from the train and bus stations. The proprietors are welcoming and the breakfast is excellent!
My room was a small single with en suite. Looked recently modernised and very clean. Bed comfortable and breakfast good and cooked to order. Fine for a single night stay but I would have found the room small for a longer stay. Location very convenient near town and railway station. Quiet location. Owners friendly and helpful
Close proximity to the town and railway station, we like the friendly staff and great breakfast. Room a little cramped bathroom in need of modernisation
Love the breakfast. The cornish sausage is so nice. Very good location to Saint Michael‘s Mount. It is opposite the train station and next to a pub and a Launderette.
Very friendly hosts. Great service. Comfortable room with a nice breakfast at a reasonable price

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Did book bed and breakfast but on arrival was told there would be no breakfast
Room was very small walls very thin could hear next rooms tv also had to change rooms as shower did not work
Great family run b&b. Friendly, helpful, comfortable rooms and really good breakfasts. Handy for train station, ferry to Scillies and all central shops in Penzance. Have stayed here quite a few times. Never disappointed. Definitely recommend.
Really good family run small hotel. Comfortable and well equipped rooms and great breakfasts. Handy for the close by railway station and only a few minutes walk to the harbour should you be catching the "Scillonian" to the Isles of Scilly.
Carnson house was perfectly located, and Rob and Belinda are wonderful hosts. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay in Penzance. The breakfast was also really good!
An overnight stay on a drive around the West Country. Small hotel easy to find on the main road opposite the railway station a few minutes walk to the harbour and town centre, pub next door but still quiet at night. Friendly owner, small single room big enough for one with good bathroom. Excellent breakfast with delicious Cornish sausage as well as all the usual things. An early breakfast was offered if I had been catching the ferry to the Scilly Isles. Easy free parking on adjacent streets
